Summary - Y.3169 (12/2025) - Resource efficiency optimization for managing user plane function in IMT-2020 networks and beyond

Recommendation ITU-T Y.3169 specifies the requirements, architecture and procedures for resource efficiency optimization for managing user plane function (UPF) in IMT-2020 networks and beyond. The specified architecture enables dynamic resource orchestration of containerized UPFs in distributed edge computing environments through monitoring, predictive analytics and policy-driven control to enhance resource utilization while ensuring service stability and performance.
